About this map

Odanah stands as the primary settlement within the Bad River Indian Res Bdy in this mid-1960s study of the Lake Superior shoreline. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways where the Bad River and White River converge before entering the lake. The coastal geography is particularly complex, featuring the long, slender reach of Chequamegon Point sheltering Chequamegon Bay, alongside numerous wetlands like Kakagon Slough and Hansen Swamp.

Inland, the Chicago and North Western railroad cuts a straight line through the timber and marsh towards the Ashland Co Iron Co border. Local infrastructure and landmarks include the Birch Ridge Lookout Tower near Birch, the Odanah Cem, and isolated water bodies such as Honest John Lake and Pictured Rock Lake. The terrain transitions from the low-lying coastal sloughs to the rising elevations of the Sanborn and Gurney districts.
